- Hasidic Judaism
In Hasidic Judaism, particularly in the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, stories and parables are used to convey mystical ideas. These stories often involve paradoxes and challenges to conventional religious thought, encouraging followers to look beyond the literal meanings and seek deeper spiritual insights.
The Talmud also contains riddles and discussions that can be seen as similar to koans, where the purpose is to engage in deep reflection rather than arriving at a simple answer.
